Buffalo News reports on design for new UB med school

A front-page article in the Buffalo News reports a
conceptual design for the planned, seven-story UB medical school to
be built on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus has been presented
at various community meetings recently, as officials prepare to
break ground in September. The article notes that the building will
incorporate Metro Rail’s current Allen/Medical Campus Station
as an essential part of the building, and quotes Laura Hubbard, UB
vice president for finance and administration, who said,
“Having a transit station as a means for people getting
around is an integral part of our planning.” The article also
quotes Robert Shibley, dean of the UB School of Architecture and
Planning, who stressed that the design is not finalized yet, but
final plans and drawings are slated to be introduced to the
community April 9.
